Assumptions

Drowning in a sea of despair,

The weight of which is too much for her to bear.

The burden of her past dragging her deeper below;

She feels such a pain that you will never know.

 

Does she scream, does she yell?

No, she just silently lives in her hell.

Do you notice, do you see?

No, you just leave her be.

 

Look and see the screams in her eyes,

And from her eyes see those silent cries.

Find the tears that should have been shed,

But you won’t find them, and nothing will be said.

 

Her lungs filling with screams never released,

Her veins burning with pain never ceased,

Still she silently suffers to herself alone;

A tragedy you condone.

 

She appears to be content,

Of course that’s what she really meant.

Can’t you see the reality here?

Her end is near.

wow! an excellent piece of writing. flowing as smooth as tides on a moonless night. there is a certain grace in the way her sadness has been presented. It seems to be perfectly penned. i mean..its easy to get carried away and overdo alot of things..but this has just struck the right chord, the right balance. the tragic end is apparently near as she gives into the hopelessness of the circumstances that she has been put into....i can only hope that this piece has helped her to vent out some bit of what she is holding back. i am sure that will bring her some respite. and afterall its perhaps time that she befriends this pain and learn to live with it. am i being negative? Not really..ask Jim.

This is beautifully tragic. I love the tone, inflection, style, and rhythm. It's eloquent yet so sad. I think it makes for a good blend. This is excellently written. I really enjoyed reading it. :)
